Steampunk Playmat

I play Magic The Gathering most Friday nights. I am not very skilled at the game, but I like the card designs and admire the artwork. I also like the “paraphernalia” – boxes, dice, playmats etc. So I decided to create my own design for a playmat. I used the wonderful Steampunk Graphics Kits designed by Georgie Retzer: (illustratorg.deviantart.com), along with some textures and generated fractals. The central ornament is from an archive of old printers’ ornaments. If you want to play cards on this mat and live in the UK, I used the excellent custom mat printing service from Patriot Games: www.patriotgames.ltd.uk
